Association Between Marijuana Use and Clinical Outcomes After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

Introduction: Though marijuana use has been linked to an increase in heart failure admissions, no prior study has explored the association between its use and outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study examines the relationship between marijuana use and postoperative outcomes in CABG patients.

Methods: We utilized data from the National Inpatient Sample database from 2008 to 2018 for CABG patients ≥18 y old.
